Music video. Rotoiti Twilight - NZ Suite for Guitar by Bruce Paine
This is the second movement of Bruce Paine's New Zealand Suite for Guitar. Rotoiti Twilight conjures up the atmosphere of an evening stroll from the village of St Arnaud in the Nelson Lakes District to the tranquil shores of Lake Rotoiti.
The suite was conceived as a concert opener that would be enjoyable to play and musically rewarding without being overly taxing. That said, a convincing performance still calls for solid technical ability, especially in the third movement, which demands both dexterity and stamina.
For scores including the New Zealand Suite, please browse Bruce Paine's sheet-music catalogue; titles can be purchased via Lulu Publishing. Selected printed editions are also available from SOUNZ (the Centre for New Zealand Music).
